Social Media Legal Policies & Training Workshops

One of the things I love the most is providing proactive educational workshops to companies and other organizations. Due to the ever-growing interest in the topic, I am pleased to announce that I am now offering a new legal training workshop for businesses, large and small, regarding social media. A custom workshop will be designed for your business to cover the following topics:

Overview of Social Media, New Developments and the Future

The Use of Social Media in the recruiting and hiring process

Balancing Employee privacy v. Employer’s Business Interests

The risks and benefits of Employees using Social Media in the workplace

What every supervisor needs to know about the use of social media

How (or whether) to discipline employees for Social Media use

Social Media and its impact on Litigation

Social Media Train Wrecks

Summary of Social Media Case Law Developments

Drafting the Social Media policy

To tailor the presentation specifically for your organization, we will send you a questionnaire in advance regarding your organization’s and employees’ use of social media and your existing policies and procedures. Every company is different and the presentation will be designed to address your organization’s specific issues, size, level of understanding and industry. Like other forms of employment based training, not only can social media legal training help you in the event you get pulled into litigation, but even more importantly, it can help prevent costly litigation and the loss of employee productivity.

Social media presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for your business. It is essential that your executives, supervisors and employees stay informed about this ever-changing and important topic.

This is definitely a hot button issue right now. Business owners need to protect their brand by owning their brand terms on social media platforms. If they allow employees access, that’s fine, but should that employee be terminated, it’s smart to have agreed-upon terms that the Twitter handle or Facebook fan page is the company’s and not the individual’s.
